500 silver bullit
« on: December 09, 2008, 06:55:05 am »
Santa has just dropped off this little beauty, cheap as chips.

Husky 82.5 500 CR ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
It should give those green 500s and the red ones some stick ;)

You're a lucky booger Pete. It's not often that Jonesy knocks back a rare one. The Silver Bullet is the Husky Holy Grail!

I dunno about it being the Husky holy grail , but they were definitely one of the prettiest Huskys ever built . Probably a candidate for the best looking mxer ever . They had a reputation for being hard to ride because of the savage power delivery due to the standard 44mm carb .

No doubt about it, the Silver Bullet 500 is a pretty little thing. This bike has been known to us for a few weeks as it was offered to Alan Jones by a client of his. Thankfully for Pete he has too many bikes on the boil at present (and it's a 2 stroke) so Pete was his first choice as a new owner. Anybody who's seen his Huskys will know this rarity has gone to the best home it could wish for. This particular bike is reputed to be the very bike Swedish works rider Leif Nickolsen rode at the Amaroo International meeting in '82. The're maybe not the Holy Grail but they are definitely on a lot of peoples wish list. I've already bagged first ride!

It will tear the front number plate off a 490 Maico, 500 Kawa, 450 Honda. ;) ;) ;)

Not bad, not bad at all. But not a patch on the black and gold with the classic 'breadbox' shaped Husky tank.

I must admit, the silver one does it for me. The problem with yours Pete, there seems to be something missing, LIKE A MOTOR. Do you need a rider?

Here is a picture of Baron Von Woolywobbler's (Barronvmx) CR500 at CD5 (only missing the sidepanel decals). It seemed to go pretty much un-noticed , but I thought that it was one of the better looking bikes ( along with the '77 Montesa VB360 ) on display that weekend . Then again , my taste in bikes isn't exactly mainstream . The Honda CR250RA in the picture behind the Husky was really good too .

Yep , that was the one . I think that bike was a peach & un-restored , I believe , as well . I don't know my Montys that well , but the only things I noticed missing were the gold paint & Marzocchi decals on the fork legs . The owner has similar taste to me , as I really like Can Am Sonics as well .
Sorry that I strayed off the Silver Bullet thread .

The Monty VB360 and C-A Sonic are owned by Dean Rowe from the Hunter Valley. He races both bikes pretty hard too.
Dean owned the Alron at CD4.
